Strong base, table

Strong acids, strong bases (Table 9.1), and salts all provide ions in solution. They are all strong electrolytes, but the process by which these types of compounds form ions in solution differs. When they are pure, strong acids are covalent compounds, but they undergo a chemical reaction with water to form ions in solution. This process, called ionization, will be discussed in more detail... 

Recall the lists of strong acids (Table 4-5) and strong bases (Table 4-7). These acids and bases are completely or almost completely ionized or dissociated in dilute aqueous solutions. Other common acids and bases are either insoluble or only slighdy ionized or dissociated. In addition, the solubility guidelines (page 134 and Table 4-8) allow you to determine which salts are soluble in water. Most salts that are soluble in water are also strong electrolytes. Exceptions such as lead acetate, Pb(CH3COO)2, which is soluble but does not ionize appreciably, will be noted as they are encountered. 

Buffer solutions consist of a weak acid and its salt with a strong base, or a weak base and its salt with a strong acid. Although most of the standard buffers are made up from weak acids plus their salts with strong bases (Table 5.1), there are also buffer solutions which can be prepared from the weak base plus its salt. The buffers quoted in Table 5.1 illustrate, however, that it is not necessary to rely on the weak base plus salt buffer to help to cover the whole range of pH. Some of these buffers are made from dibasic acids and make use of ...

By far the most common and historically oldest aryne generation method involves the elimination of hydrogen halides from aryl halides (32a) in the presence of strong bases (Table 1). " In many cases o-haloarylanions (33) can be trapped as intermediates, although often the elimination of halide ion to the aryne (1) is either too rapid to allow their detection or perhaps concerted. The effect of halogen, metal, and substituents on this reaction has been well studied. ... 

Example 16-6 focuses on a solution of Ca(OH)2, which we recognize as a strong base (Table 16.3). The dissolution of Ca(OH)2 is represented by the following equation, the right arrow (---- ) signifying that the ions dissociate... 

The most common strong base for titrating acidic analytes in aqueous solutions is NaOH. Sodium hydroxide is available both as a solid and as an approximately 50% w/v solution. Solutions of NaOH may be standardized against any of the primary weak acid standards listed in Table 9.7. The standardization of NaOH, however, is complicated by potential contamination from the following reaction between CO2 and OH . 

The ahphatic alkyleneamines are strong bases exhibiting behavior typical of simple aUphatic amines. Additionally, dependent on the location of the primary or secondary amino groups iu the alkyleneamines, ring formation with various reactants can occur. This same feature allows for metal ion complexation or chelation (1). The alkyleneamines are somewhat weaker bases than ahphatic amines and much stronger bases than ammonia as the piC values iadicate (Table 2). 

Bases, like acids, are classified as strong or weak. A strong base in water solution is completely ionized to OH- ions and cations. As you can see from Table 4.1, the strong bases are the hydroxides of the Group 1 and Group 2 metals. These are typical ionic solids, completely ionized both in the solid state and in water solution. The equations written to represent the processes by which NaOH and Ca(OH)2 dissolve in water are... 

Strategy Once you realize that this is a weak acid-strong base titration, the problem unravels follow the rules cited in Table 14.3. 

Let us apply these ideas to the third-row elements. On the left side of the table we have the metallic reducing agents sodium and magnesium, which we already know have small affinity for electrons, since they have low ionization energies and are readily oxidized. It is not surprising, then, that the hydroxides of these elements, NaOH and Mg(OH)z, are solid ionic compounds made up of hydroxide ions and metal ions. Sodium hydroxide is very soluble in water and its solutions are alkaline due to the presence of the OH- ion. Sodium hydroxide is a strong base. Magnesium hydroxide, Mg(OH)2, is not very soluble in water, but it does dissolve in acid solutions because of the reaction... 

Now consider strong and weak bases. The common strong bases are oxide ions and hydroxide ions, which are provided by the alkali metal and alkaline earth metal oxides and hydroxides, such as calcium oxide (see Table J.l). As we have seen,... 

TABLE i.l The Strong Acids and Bases in Water Strong acids Strong bases... 

Strong acids (the acids listed in Table J.l) are completely deprotonated in solution weak acids (most other acids) are not. Strong bases (the metal oxides and hydroxides listed in Table J.l) are completely protonated in solution. Weak bases (ammonia and its organic derivatives, the amines) are only partially protonated in solution. 

Identify common strong acids and bases (Table J.l). 

As for acids, the strength of a base depends on the solvent a base that is strong in water may be weak in another solvent and vice versa. The common strong bases in aqueous solution are listed in Table J.l. 

Now consider the overall shape of the pH curve. The slow change in pH about halfway to the stoichiometric point indicates that the solution acts as a buffer in that region (see Fig. 11.3). At the halfwayr point of the titration, [HA] = [A ] and pH = pfCa. In fact, one way to prepare a buffer is to neutralize half the amount of weak acid present with strong base. The flatness of the curve near pH = pKa illustrates very clearly the ability of a buffer solution to stabilize the pH of the solution. Moreover, we can now see how to determine pKa plot the pH curve during a titration, identify the pH halfway to the stoichiometric point, and set pKa equal to that pH (Fig. 11.8). To obtain the pfCh of a weak base, we find pK3 in the same way but go on to use pKa -1- pfq, = pKw. The values recorded in Tables 10.1 and 10.2 were obtained in this way. 

The pH is governed by the major solute species present in solution. As strong base is added to a solution of a weak acid, a salt of the conjugate base of the weak acid is formed. This salt affects the pH and needs to be taken into account, as in a buffer solution. Table 11.2 outlines the regions encountered during a titration and the primary equilibrium to consider in each region. 

Recorded kinetic curves were fitted to the five-parameter Equation (1). The parameters pj with their errors and the standard deviation of regressions are summarized in Tables 1-6. Comparison of the data confirm the previously reported (refs. 8,12) similarity in the behavior of the two isomers in the presence of strong bases in spite of the different shape of the kinetic curves. The relatively good agreement of exponents p2, P4 computed for the diastereomers at the same temperature and amine concentration demonstrates the validity of the model used. From comparison of Equations (4) and (7) it follows that both reaction must give the same exponent. 

C-H acidic compounds do not possess any basic properties. But they can form anions in the presence of strong bases, and these possess sufficiently strong nucleophilic properties to be able to add to a polarized carbonyl group. Examples are listed in Table 6.
